Half an hour later, Tang Shuxing and others appeared in an abandoned subway tunnel. Morgan led the way. He didn't need a flashlight to see clearly in the darkness.
"This is the earliest subway line in New York City. It was abandoned at the beginning of the 21st century. At first, it was said that it would be renovated and reactivated. However, due to funding problems and the fact that the tunnel was full of homeless people who could not be evicted, we had to give up in the end.
, as a result, within half a year, this place became a paradise for aliens.
"Morgan stopped while walking and pointed to a small door next to him, "When you open that door, you will see that it is sealed with cement, but in fact it is a cement door, and there is an underground space inside.
The boxing ring is a place for black boxing, but the people doing black boxing here are not humans, but aliens."
Tang Shuxing looked at the door, and for some reason, he thought of the blue and white flowers.
"By the way, that friend of yours, named Qinghua, also lived here." Morgan said with a smile, "The alien races in New York back then were relatively peaceful and did not invade each other. The relationship with the local gangs was also good. You know, in
Among the gangs, there are also many foreigners and magicians, whether they are from the East or the West."
Lin Xiaolin took a look and continued walking: "Whether it is the East or the West, alien races can never live peacefully with humans. There will always be people among alien races who regard humans as prey, and there will also be people among the same humans who can't stand alien races.
."
"Mr. Lin." Tang Shuxing walked behind and asked, "Did the Ministry of Ancient Science look for you when you were in China?"
Lin Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Ancient Science will not look for magicians like us, we will not disrupt social order, and we will not cheat and deceive, you know? When I entered the school, Master Shuli
The first rule is that I cannot use Maoshan Taoism to make money.
Money is not enough, or even half a cent is enough, otherwise it will be betraying the master. The reason is very simple. The world has changed, it is no longer the world a hundred years ago. There is an ancient science department for things like subduing demons and eliminating demons, so we don't need to go to it.
We also live in a world governed by law."
Following Morgan in the tunnel of the abandoned subway, you can see a lot of graffiti on both sides of the wall. Many of the graffiti don't look like random drawings. Some represent the past life of aliens, and some represent the present of aliens.
Confused, in short it can be seen that there are many artists among foreign races.
While walking, Tang Shuxing suddenly stopped in front of a painting. Looking at the painting, he stopped Morgan, pointed at the painting and said, "Who painted this painting?"
Morgan came forward and shook his head: "I don't know, is there anything special about this painting?"
Tang Shuxing looked at the painting. The painting looked like a scene from hell. There were flames everywhere. Human beings were gradually burned into skeletons in the flames. There were several people around who looked the same as humans, but their skin was different.
What the same humanoid monsters. Those monsters looked at the burning humans next to them with wide eyes, looking very helpless. Behind them were collapsed high-rise buildings, the sun in the sky was black, and there was a star in the sky.
Fire meteorites are falling from the sky.
Tang Shuxing squatted down and pointed to the line of text at the bottom of the painting that he did not recognize. He asked, "What does this line of text mean?"
Morgan looked at it carefully and pointed from right to left: "This is Hebrew."
"What do you mean?" Tang Shuxing looked at Morgan.
Morgan looked at him and replied: "The meaning is very simple, it means the lost Sabbath."
"The disappearing Sabbath?" Tang Shuxing was puzzled. The text was wrong with the painting. There seemed to be no connection between the two. The painting seemed to depict things like hell and the end of the world. How could the text below be like this?
Morgan shook his head: "Judging from the text below, it should be painted by a Jew, maybe a Jewish alien or a magician. The Sabbath is the seventh day of every week. I speculate that it means that there will never be another person."
The Sabbath may be saying that there will be no more days of rest.”
Tang Shuxing squatted there and thought for a long time before he stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll write down this painting first. I have a feeling that the next mass extinction of life is not just about ancient times."
Humans predicted it, and there were other people who knew it.”
At this time, Lin Xiaolin and Yifeng both looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
Tang Shuxing pointed to the burned humans at the top and bottom of the painting: "These are ordinary humans. After the end of the world, they couldn't adapt, so they gradually died. Only part of the people painted in the painting were wrapped in flames. Look again.
That monster next to you." After speaking, Tang Shuxing entered the corpse state and pointed
He looked at the man, then pointed at himself and said, "The appearance of these people is a bit similar to mine. They stared at the other burned humans with their eyes wide open, looking very helpless. What I want to show is that these people have already
I became a zombie, so I can adapt to the post-apocalyptic world, but I can't help others."
Yi Feng shook his head: "When the end comes, the ground will be filled with fire? Aren't you afraid of fire?"
"No, fire is just a description and a representation. I think what the painter wants to express is that after the end of the world, the environment in this world will become extremely harsh, and only the zombies can survive."
Tang Shuxing nodded, "Let's go. I feel that many things have reminded me that I can't wait any longer."
The four of them seize the time and move forward. Along the way, Tang Shuxing is still thinking about something that he has not yet figured out - what exactly is Reinhardt going to do to recast the Eye of Tathagata?
What Tang Shuxing heard from the man in the bracelet was that the Eye of Tathagata, also known as the Third Eye, was a completely destructive weapon. Once the recasting started, the whole world would be over. But there was a contradiction.
, according to the time estimated by ancient humans, due to insufficient protection of the environment by humans, the world in which we live will produce the next mass extinction of organisms in a certain period of time.
The Eye of the Tathagata will destroy the world, and so will the mass extinction of living things. If Reinhardtsch wants to destroy the world? Why would he recast the Eye of the Tathagata? He might as well just wait for the mass extinction of living things to come, or rather, he wants to
Use the Tathagata's Eyes to Prevent the Mass Extinction of Creatures?
Reinhardtsch is not a lunatic. What is his reason for doing such a thing?
It was almost dawn when the four of them rushed to the entrance near the former World Trade Center. Because the sun had already set, Morgan and Yi Feng could not go to the ground. Tang Shuxing had to adjust the phone to other frequencies and give it to them.
Waiting there, we will inform them as soon as possible if something happens and ask them not to wander around.
Afterwards, Tang Shuxing and Lin Xiaolin simply disguised themselves as Europeans and Americans, packed their swords and weapons in boxes picked up on the road, and then slowly climbed out.
When Tang Shuxing climbed out, he looked up and saw snowflakes all over the sky. Although there were still a lot of pedestrians on the street, they were several times less than usual.
"The snow in New York came earlier this year." Lin Xiaolin subconsciously looked at the electronic sign next to him, "It's only the end of October, and it's already snowing so heavily. In previous years, it wouldn't snow until around December.
"
Tang Shuxing nodded, put away his collar, and ran towards the opposite side with Lin Xiaolin, where No. 1 World Trade Center had already stood on the old site, but there was still a memorial wall around it, with a cross standing next to it, and on the memorial wall
It is engraved with the names of the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks more than ten years ago. Below it are many bouquets placed by people who came here to commemorate more than a month ago.
Although all the bouquets were withered, no one took them away. I don’t know whether it’s because the country’s order is gradually collapsing, or because the cleaning staff couldn’t bear it.
Tang Shuxing stood under the memorial wall, looking up at the new building. In his mind, he recalled the news footage of the incident more than ten years ago. The plane crashed into the building, the crowd was running, screaming, and crying. Explosions and
The smoke generated by the collapse filled the entire city of Manhattan, and soon, nothing could be seen. Just like today, the sky was covered with snowflakes, making you not only feel cold inside, but also freeze your whole body in an instant.
The order, ideals and proud doctrines of any country fell apart after the rise of Shangdu. The East and the West fought for hundreds of years, and finally Shangdu got a big advantage. Maybe when the world order collapses, people will
I want to understand that all doctrines and ideas are bullshit, and human selfish desires are the ultimate weapon to destroy this world.
Tang Shuxing and Lin Xiaolin wore hats and walked under the memorial wall. They saw an elderly lady kneeling under the wall, with her hands clasped together, her face covered with tears, and she was mumbling something.
Tang Shuxing was thinking that maybe she was praying, praying that what happened that day more than ten years ago would not happen again, not in New York, not in any city in the United States, let alone in this world.
When Tang Shuxing and Lin Xiaolin walked behind the old lady, the old lady slowly stood up and left with heavy steps in the opposite direction. She walked very slowly. Tang Shuxing stopped and looked at
The background of the old lady always felt that this living person would disappear into the snow and mist in the next second, and this life would completely disappear from then on.
"How do we get to New York University?" Tang Shuxing asked Lin Xiaolin. He didn't understand this city at all.
"There is also a Hudson River across the river." Lin Xiaolin looked around, "Either we take the George Washington Bridge or take a boat. Taking a boat is the most convenient. Let's go and see if there are any buses.
"
Lin Xiaolin took Tang Shuxing to the bus stop, but saw the electronic sign there indicating that the Washington Bridge was closed. If you want to go to Manhattan Island, the only way is to take a boat at the newly established Newport Pier. Below are the
I wrote about a dozen of the benefits of taking a boat.
Tang Shuxing looked at the soft coercive method used by the new government. It was really ridiculous. He clearly had a gun in his hand and asked you to take a boat, but also deliberately and hypocritically wrote down the benefits of taking the boat.
The two turned and walked towards the new port. As they approached, they saw that the port was very narrow and temporary fortifications were built on both sides. The military set up light and heavy weapons there. Judging from the soldiers' clothes, they should be Marine Corps.
Just when Tang Shuxing was about to discuss with Lin Xiaolin how to pass the security check, he suddenly looked up and saw an officer wearing the uniform of the Shangdu Defense Force passing behind the fortification...
